Madras Handwoven Contemporary Rug 8.20 ft X 9.84 ft

A grand contemporary rug featuring the Madras pattern—symmetric medallions and artisan heritage in an expansive scale.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans trained in contemporary design interpretation, this 8.20' × 9.84' piece reflects the disciplined geometry and refined palette characteristic of Central Asian rug-making. The Madras pattern—with its symmetric medallions and balanced composition—requires exceptional technical skill and pattern memory. Woven on a vertical loom with meticulous attention to motif clarity and color distribution, each knot contributes to a surface of remarkable density and visual depth.

Materials & Construction
Crafted from hand-spun Ghazni wool colored with natural vegetable dyes, the rug features a regal palette of traditional colors—ruby, sapphire, ivory, and charcoal—arranged in balanced geometric composition. Ghazni wool—celebrated for its superior fiber length, softness, and ability to hold vibrant dyes—creates dense pile construction with exceptional tactile richness. The fine knotting ensures crisp motif definition, while the wool's natural luster enhances the intricate pattern work.

Design & Aesthetic
Symmetric Madras medallions create visual rhythm across the field while maintaining compositional balance. The expansive 8.20' × 9.84' scale (approximately 81 square feet) makes this piece ideal for anchoring living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms as a commanding centerpiece. Works beautifully with gallery-like interiors—plaster walls, natural wood, and minimal furnishings.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 8.20' × 9.84'. Suitable for high-traffic areas; the dense Ghazni wool construction ensures decades of use. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
